Sociedad confirm loan deal for Silva
Real Sociedad have wrapped up their latest piece of transfer business. Portuguese forward Andre Silva will initially join the Basque club on a one-year loan with a purchase option.
Silva hopes to replicate the success of former Leipzig transfer bust Alexander Sorloth, who regained his scoring touch during a second loan-stint in Spain last year.
Sorloth eventually moved to Villarreal on a permanent basis for a reported €10 million earlier this summer. Amid 31 Bundesliga appearances - during which he only went the full 90 minutes 5 times last season - Silva scored 4 goals and pocketed 7 assists.

Sevilla signs Sow
Over the last few weeks, the majority of Sevilla’s efforts in the transfer market have gone towards selling players, so that they are able to bring in all of Jose Luis Mendilibar and Victor Orta's desired signings.
There has still been a focus on incomings, and Sevilla have now completed one of these, with them having confirmed the signing of Djibril Sow from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Sow, who was in the final year of his contract at Frankfurt, has joined for a reported fee of €14 million, and he has penned a 5-year deal at the Europa League champions. He has already joined up with his new team-mates on their pre-season tour of North America.
Sow is a Swiss international that plays in central midfielder, which is a position that Sevilla certainly needed to add reinforcements into, with Pape Gueye having left in the summer, and Fernando Reges and Ivan Rakitic both getting on in age.

Courtois suffers ACL injury
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is likely to miss the majority of the season.
The 31-year-old Belgium international will have surgery in the coming days.
Courtois, who was named the best goalkeeper in the world at last year's Ballon d'Or awards, has won Spain's La Liga twice since joining Real in 2018.
He has made 230 appearances for Real, who play Athletic Bilbao in their first La Liga game of the season on Saturday.
Courtois won the Premier League twice with Chelsea before his move to Real Madrid in 2018 and La Liga once with Atletico Madrid in 2014.
He also won the Champions League in 2022, delivering a man-of-the-match performance in the Final against Liverpool.

Militao suffers ACL injury
Real Madrid have had rotten luck with injuries this week. After Thibaut Courtois ruptured his ACL during training on Wednesday, the same fate has now befallen Eder Militao.
The Brazilian international fell to the ground in agony during the second half of Saturday's victory over Athletic Bilbao, and he left the pitch in tears after holding his knee. Carlo Ancelotti feared the worst, and Real Madrid have now confirmed that reality.
Real Madrid will now be without Militao for a lengthy period of time, expected to be at least 6 months. He will undergo surgery in the next few days. It is a bitter blow for Ancelotti, who is now without his starting goalkeeper and one of his first-choice central defenders for the foreseeable future.
It may now be that Real Madrid go into the transfer market to sign a new centre-back. They only have David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez as options in the first team, meaning that they are light in this department.

Sevilla name Diego Alonso as coach
FC Sevilla have appointed former Uruguay coach Diego Alonso as their manager until the end of the season, the La Liga club announced on Tuesday.
The 48-year-old, who quit the Uruguay job after failing to get the team past the group stages at last year's World Cup, replaces Jose Luis Mendilibar, who was sacked on Sunday.
Mendilibar helped Sevilla climb out of the relegation zone last season and win the Europa League Final against AS Roma but they have struggled this term and are a lowly 14th in La Liga.
Sevilla next host La Liga leaders Real Madrid on 21 October.

Ancelotti signs new deal until 2026
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has signed a new deal with the club which will run until June 2026.
The Italian, 64-year-old, was appointed at Santiago Bernabeu for a second time in 2021 on an initial 3-year deal.
He was linked with taking over as Brazil's manager earlier this year but said he wanted to remain at the club.
Ancelotti has won 10 titles as Real coach, including 2 Champions Leagues - most recently in his first season back at the club in 2021-2022.
He has also lifted one La Liga title, 2 Copas del Rey, 2 Club World Cups, 2 European SuperCups and the Spanish SuperCup once.
Ancelotti previously managed Real between 2013 and 2015, with his departure coming a year after he had won the Champions League.
He returned for a second spell in charge, replacing Zinedine Zidane, after leaving Premier League club Everton in June 2021.
The Real manager is the only coach to have won 4 European Cups, while he is also the first to win all 5 major European leagues in Italy, England, France, Germany and Spain.
Last season, Real won the Copa del Rey but finished runners-up to FC Barcelona in the Spanish top flight and went out in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
